Although there are multiple causes of Amblyopia (Lazy Eye), one of the most common is Strabismus (Eye turn). An Eye Turn causes either double vision or leads to suppression, which is the brain’s way of ignoring the information from the turned eye to prevent the double vision.

Suppression leads to Lazy Eye (amblyopia) over the course of time. Amblyopia causes poor or indistinct vision in an eye that is otherwise physically normal.

Another frequent cause of amblyopia (lazy eye) is anisometropia. Anisometropia means that the two eyes have significantly different perscriptions. Often one eye does not need any lens compensation, while the other may be significantly farsighted. Anisometropia is a condition which is frequently overlooked in general screenings because the eyes appear straight and, as long as both eyes are open, the individual may have good eyesight. However, the brain is often suppressing (ignoring) the information from the one eye.

Lazy Eye problems are not solved by glasses alone since the problem lies in the brain, which has not developed the ability to process the incoming visual information adequately.

Vision Therapy can help improve Lazy Eye by training the eye alignment and rehabilitating the brain-eye connection.

Do you work long hours in front of a computer screen? Do you find your eyes to be irritated or your vision to be disturbed after reading or watching television? You may be experiencing what is commonly known as Eye Strain.

Eye strain results from prolonged use of near-vision. Some of the symptoms that result from eye strain are blurred vision, double vision, headaches, nausea, stomachaches and red, burning, watery or itchy eyes.

Vision Therapy can help reduce eye strain with as little as 15 minutes of vision training per day. Vision Therapy treats eye strain through the use of unique eye exercises, taught in our office, and then performed independently at home.
